Die Anwendbarkeit privatrechtlicher Vorschriften im Verwaltungsrecht

Unlike civil law, which is governed by the German Civil Code (BGB), there has been no complete and systematic regulation of German general administrative law up to the present. In this work, the author analyzes the historical prerequisites, the methodical basis and the constitutional barriers involved in applying civil law to administrative law by using the central regulations of sections of the Civil Code (BGB). He gives individual examples of how civil law regulations could be applied in administrative law, and then discusses the limitations of these applications.
